STAND OUT

Life in this world in the operations of Satan, sins, sicknesses, sorrows and death is full of challenges. As long as you are born into it, you just have to face them. If the youths of nowadays don't face challenges; spiritually, physically, mentally, morally and possibly materially; they cannot STAND OUT of the crowd.

A baby in the womb faced the challenges of being in the mother's womb for (9) months. The mother also goes through the critical period until the baby is delivered for the proclamation of relief and joy, for the child to feed professionally, learn how to sit, crawl, stand, walk and talk as other children; it portends challenges for both the mother and baby to STAND OUT.

Even growth from Adolescence to Adulthood (youth or a full blown man) requires certain disciplinary actions to be headed out among the myriads of people. Some of these under listed areas may be needed and planted in today's youths;

1. Give proper place for Jesus to enthrone your heart as he knocks to dwell in you (Rev. 3:20). He dethrones immorality in your in your heart and actions. He will then shine in you to shine out from you and stand you out amongst humanity; for He is the light of the world; you become unique by Him.

2. Academically, as you burn the midnight oil, you excel under His light and guide. You are focused, not lazy but stand in His Excellency as per the excellent spirit in Daniel. Yes, you can be the best among your colleagues (Dan. 6:3).

3. Generally, hard work pays. Be as the busy bees for honey to flow from you. Be as Ants (though so little) very hardworking and meticulous who build their ant-hills and plant in the summer and gather her harvest for winter. (Prov. 6:4-11).

In summary, I challenge you to STAND OUT from DARKNESS to LIGHT; I challenge you to STAND OUT from defeat to CONSTANT VICTORY, I challenge you to STAND OUT from POLLUTION to UPRIGHT STAND with God; I challenge you to STAND OUT from worst of all youths to THE BEST OF ALL YOUTHS.

Yes, Stand Up, Stand Out in faith and overcome the world (John 5:4). God be in your Spirit, Amen.

Beware

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye arejustified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1Cor 6:9 (KJV)

Salvation Prayer

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. Thank you Jesus for your grace which has saved me from my sins. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honour to you alone.
